Its the idea of 24" tuffs that are pulling me in.

i got three, they are nice but even bigger to have hanging around your house. be warned, they are well nice to have and make a decent rider too if you wanted to use them.

I raced a VDC Gorilla in the 80's , here at British Champs 1986 in front of Dale Holmes

Just wish I had'nt sold it !

If you're looking at a OS cruiser build then as Paul ( Stuntmaster ) says , the 24 specific parts are harder to come by and can be expensive ( sometimes quite a bit more than 20" bits ! ) .

Your less than favourite guy in Australia (JohnnyChopper) makes repro Kos Kruiser bars if you are desperate, I think they are branded as repro's too

John, I can understand that, I think they would be OK for putting on a new school ride to give that old school look and feel but don't think I'd put them on an old school ride
